Certifications are proof you can achieve a passing criteria on a standardized exam. Mastery takes much more than passing an exam. I work twice as hard preparing to teach a class than I ever do preparing to pass an exam.

The beta exam still shows the status of "taken" on Pearson Vue. I wish they would hurry up and let us know the results.

The only certification class I teach where I do not have the certification is PMI's PMP. I do hold the CAPM and Project+. I have also led multiple projects. I have not led enough projects over time to meet the experience requirement from PMI to be eligible to take the PMP. I could probably...

Forgive me for asking, but why such a long delay? I took the beta in March, so five months seems like a long time for a beta result to drop.

Any news on the Cloud+ beta exam results?

As an Adjunct Instructor for CompTIA, I can verify that they do require that I hold the current version of the certification before I can teach a class. Which means, if I want to teach the new PenTest+ when it goes live I have to pass the exam first, even though I am already PenTest+ certified.

I'm not certain of the validity of this document, but it appears that the new version of Cloud+ will go live on July 16, 2024. No idea about the timeline for the beta exam scores. https://partners.comptia.org/docs/default-source/resources/cloudplus-certification-guide

I would NEVER assume that. Most people in academia at universities are tenured professors who do not work in the industry. They tend to be behind the curve, so to speak. Honestly, if someone has been working in the field and been passing certs on a regular basis, they're probably already at...

I didn't say CompTIA partners required that a trainer must be certified in the version they were teaching. I said they must have that certification. CompTIA requires their CompTIA trainers to be certified in the version that they're teaching.

Individual test centers can set the number of available seats, the dates, and the hours and can offer certain exams. I know of organizations set up as Pearson Vue testing centers so they can exclusively use it to test their employees. They set it up with no open appointments. When someone...

While CISSP and Security+ have some overlapping content, they also have some content that is exclusively one or the other. CISSP leans much more heavily on security management, while Security+ is more of a broad foundational security knowledge. Overlapping circles in a Venn Diagram, but not...

I've been teaching project management courses for 20+ years, including Project+, CAPM, and PMP. I hold the Project+ and CAPM, but do not have the PMP. The reason I haven't taken the PMP? The PMI requires 36 months of experience leading projects within the past eight years. Unfortunately, you...

If you work for CompTIA or a CompTIA partner, you do have to be certified. CompTIA requires that you're not only certified but that you have passed the version of the exam that you're teaching. I have six Security+ certs, four A+ certs, four Net+ certs, three CySA+ certs, and two Project+ certs...

Has anyone received the results of the Cloud+ beta exam yet?

TTT used in reference to training the trainer to teach is a common term that has been around for a long time.

Congratulations!

I went through my first Train-the-Trainer program in 2000, when I was employed by ExecuTrain. At that time, it was a franchised computer learning center, much like New Horizons Computer Learning Centers. Every new hire for ExecuTrain, regardless of location, was required to attend a one-week...

Do you have any idea if CompTIA will apply this to the data pathway with Data+, DataSys+, and DataX?

I thought the PBQs on the Cloud+ left a lot to be desired. Is it possible that CompTIA is having challenges developing these types of questions? If the new SecurityX has removed the Linux commands and the VM PBQ, it sounds like a simpler exam than the previous version. Can you think of...
